Martin / Custom D18 Slope Shoulder Spruce Mahogany / 2005 / Guitar

We all love Martin's classic D-18s and -28s, but its always nice to see something else come out of Martin's stable, like this Custom D18 Slope Shoulder. This Martin has been produced in very small numbers and were distributed through German importer AMI. This makes them hard to find and quite rare. This dreadnought doesn't differ to much from its square-shoulder brother and that's certainly a good thing. The body includes mahogany back and sides, paired to a Sitka spruce top that is braced with a standard X-brace and nicely embellished with Style 18 appointments. The sloped shoulders do however change the tone quite drastically and combines the definition and deep voice of a Martin to the mid-presence and woodiness of a J-45. This lends for a great fingerpicking guitar that any singer-songwriter will put to good use.  Even better, this Martin Custom D18 still is in near mint condition and still features the original pickguard protective layer.  Specifications Body Shape: Slope Shoulder Dreadnought Finish: Natural High-gloss Dimensions: Width: 397 mm - 15.63" Depth: 124 mm - 4.88" Body Material: Solid Genuine Mahogany Top Material: Solid Sitka Spruce Bracing: Standard X-brace  Handedness: Right-handed  Body Details: Black body bindings, black/white top trim and rosette, black pickguard.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
